Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

7902 Zinc waste and scrap
The provisions of the Explanatory Note to heading 7204 concerning waste and scrap are applicable, mutatis mutandis, to this heading. This heading does not cover: (a) slag, ash and waste from the production of zinc, from galvanizing processes, etc. (for example, sludge deposited by electro-galvanization and metal residues from a melt bath) (heading 2620); (b) ingots and similar untreated forms obtained by the melting of zinc waste and scrap (heading 7901).

1. The terms used in this chapter mean:
(a) "non-alloyed zinc" means a metal containing at least 97.5 wt.% zinc.
(b) “zinc alloys” means metal alloys in which the mass content of zinc exceeds the mass content of each other element contained in the alloy, but the total content of all other elements is more than 2.5 % by weight.
(c) “zinc dust” means dust produced by condensation of zinc vapor and consisting of spherical particles smaller than particles of zinc powders. At least 80 wt.% of zinc dust particles pass through a sieve with cells of 63 μm (micron). Zinc dust must contain at least 85% by weight of zinc metal.
